"The United States of Alcohol" by vinepair."As has often been said before, what makes the United States so interesting and incredible is that while we’re one unified country, when you really boil us down, we’re also a nation of several smaller countries, with different tastes, attitudes and opinions. While we often break down the country in terms of our politics, the same can happen when you look at what we like to drink. Here’s what a map of our country might look like if our drinking preferences were what divided us, instead of politics."

The Pieter Schelte is the world's largest ship. But this outsized sea giant isn't a supertanker, nor a container carrier. The ship - which set sail last weekend from South Korea to the Dutch port of Rotterdam - is an oil support vessel, designed to install or move oil rigs in the deep ocean, lay oil pipelines, or even help construct bridges. The Pieter Schelte is 382 metres (1,260 ft) long, and 124 metres (406 ft) wide. The vessel is essentially a giant catamaran, based on the concept of joining two large tankers rigidly, with a slot at the bows to lift platforms in one piece.

By designer Anouk Wipprecht."Aptly called the 'Spider Dress', this piece of wearable tech features animatronic mechanical limbs that respond to external stimuli while defend the personal space of the wearer. The dress provides an extension of the wearers intuition: It uses proximity sensors as well as a respiration sensor to both define and protecting the personal space of the wearer. Approach the wearer to aggressively and the mechanical limbs move up to an attack position. Approach the system under calmer circumstance and the dress just might beckon you to come closer with smooth, suggestive gestures. 3-D printed sensor based animatronic/mechatronic dress enabled by the Intel Edison acts as the interface between the body and the external world using technology and the garment as a medium of interaction."
